I got this off the 2ksports.com message board. I've used bigfnjoes sliders for about a week now and the game works great. Just recently he posted a new version of his and another guys sliders combined. Here they are, enjoy!

My buddy over @ OS has been tweaking my Pure Baseball Sliders & a slider set he's been using, to try & find the best balanced between them both which give you the most realistic results. After 4 game test different pitchers versus different team. All I can say is AMAZING..... A lot of hard work has gone onto these & I would like to thank everyone who contributed in making these possible & to gallandro who was the lead person on helping stop the Pass-Ball mis-understanding

Beginning from the Custom Setting

Also check-out my Legend Sliders right under these. Enjoy:

HUMAN SETTINGS
Batter Contact - 60
Batter Power - 60
Batter Slamzone Power - 0
Batter Bunt Assistance - 100
Runner Baserunning Speed - 50
(changed this because it appears runner speeds reflect "real life" better, I get many more close plays at first with speedy runners)
Runner Stealing Success - 65
Fielder Errors -25
Fielder Speed - 50
(again this default setting appears to reflect real life speeds of fielders)
Fielder Speed Burst Length - 30
Fielder Speed Burst Power - 25
(Legend settings, and I like it, I tend to disagree with those who think speed burst isn't realistic, you're simply simulating your fielder "getting on his horse" to try to hustle to make a play... and this setting seems fairly reasonable)
Pitching Variability - 100
Pitcher Fatigue - 50
(appears this is another "default" setting... starting pitchers start to get tired in the late 5th early 6th inning, but high stamina pitchers can squeak out an extra inning ot two)
Pitcher Interface Speed - 85
Injuries - 20
(still working with this one... 10 seems a little low, and I actually did get one injury set here, but I need to see how it impacts Season play first)
Pitch Speed - 75

CPU SLIDERS
AI Skill - 100
AI Contact - 65
AI Power - 54
AI Slamzone Probability - 0
AI Slamzone Power - 0
AI Fatigue - 50
(like the Human setting this appears to be a default fatigue setting)
AI Take Strike Overall - 60
AI Take Strike Ahead - 50
AI Take Strike Behind -70
AI Take Ball Overall - 75
AI Take Ball Ahead - 70
AI Take Ball Behind - 65

(default fielder speed like the human settings)

[quote name='amusedtoe']It's sad that you have to tweak the game to get it to play reasonably.[/quote]

*Newsflash*

Just about all sports games has sliders so you can customize the game to your liking. It doesn't mean the game is bad.
 
You've got to be kidding me if you don't think there's alot of things that aren't balanced in the game, especially the power of the right stick. It's still a good game like the rest of the 2K line but you shouldn't have to tweak the game this majorly to have it, as you say, "work great" and get "more realistic results." It's one thing to have sliders for those who don't want a sim or arcade game as it was designed, but as an excuse to let the developer off the hook and leave balance in the hands of the end user doesn't leave me feeling confident about them having no competition for the next several years.
 
Used the sliders today and played a game. I know it was only one, but it was close as far as the hits and runs. It plays really well. Pitching is much better as where you point your pitch isn't exactly where it ends up. It'll vary a little bit. Makes it much harder to paint the corners.
 
Thanks OP. I used this tonight and it was much better than my previous settings. Great game made better with these settings.
 
I just switched to LEGNED mode and it seems to be a lot closer scorewise. Still have to play with the sliders to fix the pass-ball issues.
 
Sure 2k5 has glitches, but at least they changed it from last year's version unlike a certain game company who recycles almost identical versions of games every year.

Sure, the game has its fair share of problems but it still plays pretty good. The sliders I posted makes it more of a sim type game and gives off more realistic results.
 
yea im a regular on the 2ksports boards and the OS boards and ive been using those sliders for a while. compared to the default difficulty levels these sliders are great..and on OS theyre always updated
